I have the CJ2 on momentum frame and I love them. The machine is manufactured by HandiQuilter and is equivalent to their 18" machine. It took me about 3 rows of stitching on my first quilt to get the tension right, but after that I've hardly touched it. We use Connecting Threads essential on top and in the bobbin for all our quilting. If I were buying again in the same budget range I would absolutely do the same thing. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me.
ETA I see I am too late to help since you had to decide 2 days ago. I have been having trouble with my IPad and haven't been online much in the last couple of days.
I love my quilter but I hope you don't have one of those pushy "You have to buy right now" dealers. If you ended up buying I think you will be very happy with your purchase. Let us know what you decided.
